As promised, here's my complete report from my last ED trip. I'll be doing this in installments over the next several days. If you have any comments, questions, etc feel free to post as reply in this thread. I'll reply to them later. Thanks in advance!

Day 1: Arrival at MUC

Oct 26, Wednesday. My last leg of the long flight was AMS - MUC, having flown SFO - MSP - AMS the day/night before. We touched down at MUC around 9:15am, which would be about 20 hrs since I left my house. There was a bit of inconvenience because I was supposed to meet up with my cousin from Boston at AMS and fly AMS - MUC together. But his flight out of BOS was delayed so I didn't meet him at AMS and he had to take the later AMS - MUC flight.

I decided to wait for him at MUC for another 2.5 hrs. So I walked around the airport looking around and saw this display of BMW Oracle racing yacht and the M6!

After my cousin arrived, we went to our hotel by S8 to Marienplatz and transfer to U3 to Machtlfinger Straße for our hotel (Holiday Inn München-Sud).

The hotel is typical of modern European Holiday Inn and the room is a bit small. But it's very close to the U-bahn station (about 5-6 minutes walk), it has a spacious, gated underground garage. And for my dates of stay the price was right. There is a big Wal-Mart across from the U-bahn station with a nice food section to get quick bites (coffee, juice, pastry, sandwich, hot meals, etc). The hotel has internet access in the business center, but during my stay their internet access was down the whole time .

I can recommend this hotel to other EDers and I'll consider it for my future trip to Munich.
